This paper presents symplectic method for the derivation of exact solutions of functionally graded piezoelectric beam with the material properties varying exponentially both along the axial and transverse coordinates. In the approach, the related equations and formulas are developed in terms of dual equations, which can be solved by variables separation and symplectic expansion in Hamiltonian system. To verify advantages of the method, numerical examples of bi-directional functionally piezoelectric beam are discussed.

The symplectic method is applied to study analytically the deflection field of bi-directional functionally graded piezoelectric materials in this paper. And the material properties varies exponentially both along the axial and transverse coordinates.The dual equations were presented by variation principle and introducing separation of variables used. Then in the symplectic space which consists of the original variables and their dual variables, the problem can be solved via symplectic expansion. This comparisons with experimental data were carried out to verify the validity of the symplectic method.

This paper investigates the static bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric material beam under electromechanical loading. The effective material properties of functionally graded piezoelectric material beam are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness direction and are graded according to sigmoid law distribution. Both multi-layered and monomorph models have been considered in the present work. A two-dimensional finite element analysis has been performed using COMSOL Multiphysics® (version 4.2) software. The accuracy of the method was validated by comparing the results with the previous published work. The results presented in the paper shall be useful in the design of functionally graded piezoelectric material beam.

Based on modified strain gradient theory, nonlinear vibration analysis of a functionally graded piezoelectric doubly curved microshell in thermal environment has been performed in this research. Three scale parameters have been included in the modeling of thin doubly curved microshell in order to capture micro-size effects. Graded material properties between the top and bottom surfaces of functionally graded piezoelectric doubly curved microshell have been considered via incorporating power-law model. It is also assumed that the microshell is exposed to a temperature field of uniform type and the material properties are temperature-dependent. By analytically solving the governing equations based on the harmonic balance method, the closed form of nonlinear vibration frequency has been achieved. Obtained results indicate the relevance of calculated frequencies to three scale parameters, material gradation, electrical voltage, curvature radius, and temperature changes.

In this paper, we study the analysis of the large beam deformation (FGM) under the uniform transverse loading. The mechanical properties of the beam including the modulus of elasticity and the Poisson coefficient are a function of the thickness of the beam (The Power Distribution Law). Principle equations for the FG-beams are obtained using the Von-Carmen theory for large deformities. The results are obtained by minimizing the total potential energy and solving it. The numerical examples are presented for this method. In this paper, the effect of material properties on the stress basin is examined from a thickness perspective. It discusses the effects of nonlinear terms in strain-relational relations.

The dynamic propagation of a crack in a functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) interface layer between two dissimilar piezoelectric layers under anti-plane shear is analyzed using the integral transform approaches. The properties of the FGPM layers vary continuously along the thickness. FGPM layer and the two homogeneous piezoelectric layers are connected weak-discontinuously. A constant velocity Yoffe-type moving crack is considered. Numerical values on the dynamic energy release rate (DERR) are presented for the FGPM. Followings are helpful to increase of the resistance of the crack propagation of the FGPM interface layer: (a) certain direction and magnitude of the electric loading; (b) increase of the thickness of the FGPM interface layer; (c) increase of the thickness of the homogeneous piezoelectric layer which has larger material properties than those of the crack plane in the FGPM interface layer. The DERR always increases with the increase of crack moving velocity and the gradient of the material properties.
